What players say

Players split on Hand of Fate. Many love the dealer's personality and the deckbuilding strategy, but consistently criticize the combat as clunky with poor camera controls, calling it a QTE-like brawler rather than a card game. Some report high GPU temperatures, and the sequel is often cited as improving on the original's rough edges.
